Real Mushrooms 5 Defenders 100g – Certified Organic 5-Mushroom Immune Defence Powder Blend
Real Mushrooms 5 Defenders 100g – Certified Organic 5-Mushroom Immune Defence Powder Blend
Real Mushrooms 5 Defenders is a certified organic blend of five of the most immune-supportive functional mushrooms: Chaga, Reishi, Shiitake, Maitake, and Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor). Each mushroom is dual-extracted from 100% real mushroom fruiting bodies — no mycelium on grain filler — ensuring the full spectrum of beta-glucans, triterpenes, and polysaccharides responsible for each mushroom's immune-modulating properties. Independently verified for beta-glucan content. 100g powder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are fruiting body extracts superior to mycelium on grain products?
Many mushroom supplement brands use mycelium (the root network) grown on grain substrates — but the final product contains significant amounts of grain starch rather than mushroom compounds. The beta-glucans, triterpenes, and polysaccharides that provide mushrooms' therapeutic effects are concentrated in the fruiting body (the mushroom cap and stem). Real Mushrooms uses only fruiting body extracts and independently verifies beta-glucan content to ensure you receive meaningful amounts of active compounds.
What does each mushroom in 5 Defenders contribute?
Chaga: potent antioxidant, immune modulation via betulinic acid and melanin. Reishi: adaptogenic, anti-inflammatory, NK cell stimulation, sleep support. Shiitake: beta-glucan lentinan for immune defence, cardiovascular support. Maitake: D-fraction beta-glucan for immune activation, blood sugar balance. Turkey Tail: PSK and PSP polysaccharides — some of the most clinically studied mushroom immune compounds, used alongside cancer treatment in Japan.
How do I use Real Mushrooms 5 Defenders powder?
Add ½–1 teaspoon (approximately 1–2g) to coffee, tea, smoothies, soups, or any food or drink. The powder has a mild earthy flavour that blends well with coffee and cacao. Take daily for ongoing immune support. There is no strong taste that makes it difficult to incorporate into daily routine.
Is 5 Defenders suitable for daily year-round use?
Yes. Functional mushrooms are adaptogens — they are safe and beneficial for consistent long-term use. Unlike stimulant supplements, there is no tolerance or dependency concern. Daily consistent use provides the most benefit for immune resilience, antioxidant protection, and overall wellbeing.
Is Real Mushrooms certified organic?
Yes. Real Mushrooms products are certified organic by internationally recognised certifiers. All mushrooms are grown under certified organic conditions without pesticides, heavy metals, or contaminants. Each batch is independently tested for heavy metals, microbial contamination, and beta-glucan content.
